Former Chelsea star Florent Malouda feels Victor Osimhen will be a fantastic addition to his old team.
After another disappointing season for Senegal international Nicolas Jackson, the Blues are looking for a new striker.
Osimhen is one of the attackers on the Premier League giants’ radar.
The powerful striker was close to moving to the Stamford Bridge last season but the transfer fell through due to his wage demands.
Malouda insisted that he would love to see Osimhen at Chelsea next season.
“The [Osimhen] links with Chelsea are strong. We’ve had brilliant African footballers in the past, and Osimhen can be the next generation of African players at Chelsea,” he told Racing Tipster.
“I would love to see him join the club. I think he would be an excellent signing. I also think he would help someone like Nicolas Jackson improve.”
Malouda also claimed Osimhen will score plenty of goals for Enzo Maresca’s side.
“We [Chelsea] need a striker that scores 20 or more a season. Osimhen is the kind of player who can do that,” he added.
